Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Penny is an 8 year old Rat Terrier. She was adopted when she was 2 from a shelter. She has been very loved by my husband and I for almost 7 years.

Unfortunately, we welcomed a new born into our home last month and Penny has been overly jealous and territorial of my husband and I, which has caused concerns for us to keep her in our home. She is a wonderful dog for adults or a home with older children.

Penny loves long walks, the dog park and boat rides. Our family has a cabin and during the winter she loves going up with us and getting on the water or being a companion while we fish. Penny is very loyal and loves to cuddle.

It is important to share, Penny is extremely smart, but does need an owner comfortable with working with her on leash. She walks wonderfully, but when passing unknown dogs on leash during walks she will bark. With that said, she walks wonderfully with dogs she knows and does fantastic off leash at the dog park. Looking for a kind and caring home. <3
